AVOID this guy at the Pyramids!

- Giza, Egypt - If you want to improve your patience skills, I suggest you visit the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Let me explain, you get bombarded with touts and camels every minute. To date, I have visited 5 out of 7 Wonders of the World. The Pyramids are the last remaining wonder of the Ancient World. Unfortunately, the visit to the Great Pyramids was by far the worst experience of all of them. If you are traveling to Egypt, please watch my video so you can adjust your expectations accordingly. Especially if you are a solo traveler, I noticed that you are a much easier target for them.
Let me know in the comments which place or country I should visit next!

Maybe the Pharaohs disappeared because of these annoying scammers 😝
😅 Omg I’d rather get mummified and buried in a pyramid than listen to those guys yapping about exponential discounts 😂
@@mizuozman2028you wouldn’t do that😂
فعلاً حقيقة الأمر
after seeing ur video I will change my destination from Egypt to another country
Egypt it’s amazing,one of the most beautiful countries I’ve seen,people like this are everywhere,just go ,ignore them and you will be amazed by Egypt
Impossible to enjoy when your time in Egypt ruined by the constant barrage of scammers. I will never go back there. Can't even browse in a shop without someone assigned to constantly bombed you with "you buy this, what about this, best quality, you buy, you buy" On our last day we had another guided tour, I decided to stay in the coach. Just overwhelmingly horrible. I've travelled throughout Asia and never had this much of an issue.
Good decision
@@nicolasknight4106well in Bali is much better they don’t have that
@@nicolasknight4106not hey aren’t never had this in Maldives Dubai I could go on
How awesome would it be if a group of tourists surrounded one of these guys and just started asking questions and talking over him, forcing HIM to be the one to get frustrated and walk away?
Karl Rock actually did that in India! It was hilarious...he kept trying sell the scammers stuff as he followed them around the streets 😂
Oh id love to see that@thetruepatriot7733
I'm an Egyptian and consider this as one of the best videos I've seen for a tourist avoiding scammers at the pyramids.
These hustlers are ruining the experience . You can’t trust anyone in the Giza area..not even taxi drivers, hotel staff, nobody…not even the police or the government. Who built the pyramids? Infidels? Ha ha ha …
Mmmmm
It’s amazing that you pay the money to fly their and spend the day running away from scammers. It’s a shame
They're like roaches, i'm surprised that the police don't kick out all them pests, it can't be good for tourism.
Indeed
How different these guys must be from the Ancient Egyptians: in race, religion, culture, sincerely, honesty, self-respect and dignity.
@@ryanedwards805 not built by Atlantans or Jews or anyone else - built by ancient Egyptians who are different from current Egyptians enormously except the Copts
@@imadboles3431 the people there ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL EGYPTIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they are decedents of invaders who destroyed pyramids because they wanted to spread their own religion
Him telling you that 150 EGP is 'nothing' because it's equivalent to $10!!!!
That is complete arrogance, he thinks all tourists are rich, and throw $'s up in the air for them to catch.
Well, consider you are a tourist. He probably cannot be one maybe forever. I look at it that way. Their dollar has plummeted and they are in a bad situation and instead of starving, they are offering a service. Rude maybe at times? Yes, but perhaps desperation makes a person pushy.
yeah ... thats pretty much same everywhere. Being a Czech I always found it funny when travelling to Asia, Middle East, South America. The only way how can I afford such trips is that I just travel with shitty airlines with a backpack. Staying in cheap hotels and eating on the street. Yet for those people I am white so my pockets have to be packed with dollars and I if dont want to spend some it is almost an insult :D
Unfortunately that is often the case!
Funny thing that you spend more time and energy with the very annoying scammers than enjoying what you went there for.
The problem here is that he is talking to them. When u open your mouth they think they have you and won't give up. The more you talk the more your digging your own grave trust me. I live in Egypt now for a year I know what I'm talking about. Even the beggers are scammers and a gang. Just don't talk to anyone do what everyone else does. Head down. Ignore and live your life.
I was there last week - visited the pyramids on an impulse (without preparation) - got completely hosed. You do not need the animals or the nuisance "tour guide". It is only 2.8 kms from the parking lot at the entrance to the panoramic point of the pyramids - Google maps show you the route - a comfortable walk of 36 minutes. The Sphinx and most of the other things are close to the Great Pyramid. Two hours on foot should give you enough time to see the entire site. The price for the abused animals vary wildly (I paid 1500 pounds for the full monty tour). At the end, the "guide" will tell you that the price does not include a tip for him and he will pester you mercilessly for a large tip. Plus they will try to lead you off the site to a shop they call the "Papyrus Museum" - more usury. Do a self-guided tour and avoid all these hucksters - and watch your valuables. Take a hat and water as well.
You pay or not, they will insult you.
I really appreciate the fact that this guy refused to ride the camels because of the daily abuse these animals endure.. the condition of some of these camels and horses is horrific! I've watched a lot of these pyramid videos and I've seen horses pulling carts that are completely lame, there pain was obvious as they pulled a cart full of tourists up the hill.. they use horse blankets under the saddles to hide the fact that these horses are horribly under weight! The blankets cover there exposed rib cage. Some of the horses I saw were at least 150lbs under weight. The condition of the camels is just as bad, these animals scream in pain as there being forced to there knees. Camels spend most of their lives standing, their bodies are not made to be going up and down on their knees all day so tourists can ride them. If you watch these videos you can see the camels resisting and crying in pain when there being pulled to the ground ... so I appreciate this guy for refusing to ride these animals.

Well done for refusing to take camel or horse rides due to the abuse they suffer. Wish all tourists took this stance. Well done fella!
Haha Ik ga stuk om jou 🤣 “you see these two things, my mom will get disappointed if I dont use them” legend Joey
Your mom would be disappointed as well hehe
Why does the Government allow this to happen to almost all tourists?
Because they're in on it as well.
@@pmeehan_3theyre one of the 7 wonders of the world but the harassing makes it unpalatable to go
I really hope to see one of these videos where the tourist says “no” and just walks away. So sick of seeing naive tourist hand random people their tickets and carry on pointless conversations with scammers! The tourist are actually making these videos more exhausting. These interactions are avoidable!
They are just doing it for the video... I'm sure most of these tourists know that they should walk away but these interactions make interesting video's. I've seen a lot of these video's and many of the people recording play along to capture the scam on camera.
They're not exaggerating, the people will follow you for several minutes sometime
@@dricoirving3236 I was followed and harrased for hours! Everytime I got rid of one, another one showed up! It ruins the tourist experience! I'll never go back...
1,000,000% ...it was so annoying/exhausting/aggravating to see him go along with it so long
You are right
Sheesh. Might as well spend my holiday at home or locally in peace than to be bothered with these guys. Thanks for sharing your genuine experience.
Thank you for pointing out the suffering of the camels sir!
did he tell them about it?
AVOID EGYPT ⚠️
I feel sorry for the camels
It’s freaking unbelievable there’s so many videos about avoiding Egyptian scammers
Such a deterrent to visit this historic place
Every video I watched
Everyone warn about scammers
😢😢😢
its true. However, i am a British expat living out in Egypt. I can be your guide / unofficial personal security and help you avoid these scams and the harrasment that comes with it. @@karaalan2678
Actually there is nothing else in their touristic places...
Love this!! Will go, such a great video
I am dying when you asked the camel person if he takes bitcoin 😂😂
14:59
Hey man, thank you for the video. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the way you were thinking about the animals and the way thar they are being treated. Bless you man. Much love from Sweden.
I am an Egyptian and the tourist police should provide people to assist tourist because this parasites of people and this con people ruin the experience and make the people Fed up so please to the tourist minister do something about all this harassment . The government’s spending too much money to improve the services and make tourist happy and now with people like this everything goes very bad .
Je bent zo'n goeie kerel. laat je niet naaien hoor! leuke video man en blijf door gaan met je kanaal
Great footage. Better than any documentary who always seem to give ariel shots etc
That was awesome how you told him you don't want a camel ride because of how the camels are mistreated. I wouldn't want to support that either, I feel bad for those poor animals.
.Here is what I did when I went to Egypt. I brought really good headphones and several pairs of wrap-around sunglasses that cover my eyes even on the sides. When I got to Giza, I put on my headphones and sunglasses and walked straight ahead. I was bombarded by these guys trying to make money off me like following me to take a camel ride, or take my picture and selling me things. I ignored EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I could not hear them because I was blasting my music very loud in my headphones and they could not see my eyes and they eventually ALL left me alone. The people I travelled me also followed my lead and they were left alone. Celebrities should also do the same thing with paparazzi. Your welcome.
Just watched your video, and I busted out laughing at the part when you told the man.. “I will enjoy the view of the pyramid” and then proceeded to view the pyramid right there for a few seconds. That was hilarious!!🤣
This is the most hilarious scammer video so far! You cracked me up lmao
I laughed so hard when I heard you say to the camel guy if he accept bitcoin or ethereum😂😂😂. Good video and nice content
Dude you CRACK me up hahahha.
Just buy something weird & cheap from the local markets & the moment you are approached pull that item out and start hassling them to buy it, with a starting price 100 times what you paid. Tell them you need money to support your family.
😆
It’s amazing how you spend all this money to go fly there, but you wouldn’t pay $5 for the locals who try to make ends meet. Don’t try to fool people with “not wanting to use the animals” or whatever… if that would truly be the case then you’d just give $5 to the poor local and tell him that he can keep the money and you don’t need the camel ride.
If you truly CARED on ANIMALS, then you’d definitely care on HUMANS, and you’d definitely be be glad to spare 5 bucks to this poor human local tour guide.
I totally agree with your idea.👍
Your video is the first where a tourist wears out the grifters!
Amazing job!!!
So sad the pyramids, abu simbel, Luxor and the valley of the kings are located in Egypt.
"Ethereum?!" - "ah - ATM!" LOOOL
Yea, they are just uneducated guys.
"The government prohibited the building of houses after they discovered the great Piramides of Giza".
Are you serious? 😂
Nice quality video
Egypt look too much hassle for me the Touts are too aggressive i'd end up punching one of them
same
Where’d you get that button up shirt? It’s nice haha
You are right .. I lived in Egypt , and I know the place where the horses and camels stay in the end of the day, It's right in the street, many horses falled down in the street , tired and like they was dying. So sad that cena
Every scam starts with "Hello my friend...".
When i went to Egypt in '09, i had the same experience except i didn't give them my ticket. I ended up shouting at one of them and he then proceeded to ask me why i was shouting. Jordan, they were also like a swarm of flies yet understood and respected when told Not Interested.
How did they build them? Any ideas?
Imagine the faraons looking what their palace have become. They would start a massacre right there
never be afraid to tell them to fk off. be polite and first, tell them 3 times no, and then you have to be more firm. there is nothing more definitive than fk off!
Remind me never to go there. They would drive you nuts. But very informative - thanks
My wife and me love you bro!
Love your videos and love the way you think about animals 👍.
A gold advice, ignore such annoying people don’t even start answering them they will never stop harassing you.
Absolute number 1 tip is this. get yourself some earpods, some very loud music and put them on when you get close to the pyramids. It helps. thats all im going to say
I am from Malaysia Sarawak Borneo thankyou for your information. 👍😁
لماذا لاتتدخل الحكومة المصرية لوقف هذا التخلف والنصب من الباعه والجمال والخيول وريحه الكريهه الي بيحصل في محيط الاهرامات لان هذا بيعمل سمعه مش كويس عن مصر !!
Yup! I just watched another vlogger with the exact same annoying experience as you had in Egypt. Sad really. Egyptian authorities should do something.
Joey is hilarious.
How can you enjoy yourself and these magnificent places with these pests abounding and not taking a hint to leave you alone.
Now I'm 100% sure that aliens built them
My favorite line “ this is from government”😂😂😂 of course that makes everything better because it’s the government who we can trust.
I have become victim of this person in 2012 February, he requested to take a ride of camel, later on he asked for a big amount, which I paid.
The best advice i can give anyone wanting to see the Pyramids is; don't talk to anyone, and if someone talks to you, hiss at them like a cat and RUN!
Joey is a more patient man than me , soon as they start yapping I start walking
I would not have that patience. At all.
Why can’t you be stern when saying no? It’s frustrating getting walked all over
thank you for being the first traveller i see on youtube that avoids these camel rides because of the brutality
I didn't know those animals are abused. I need to explore of this issue. Very informative.
My new favourite TH-camr. 'Your camel is peeing" Classic.
7:04 your face when he's explaining 🤣🤣🤣
HAHA almost fell alseep
$10 sounds pretty cheap to me. Not sure why it would be a "scam" if you're getting what you paid for. A scam would be taking your money and then not giving you a ride or making the ride shorter than they promised.
That’s really annoying, oh lord . And these scammers are everywhere , every tourist site and it’s absolutely f$#¥ annoying for tourists. Damnnn
Seems like if they see you alone they will harass you more, the authorities should do something about these people bothering visitors.
I would use my hard phones like I don’t here them
these scammers and hustlers are enough reasons for me not to visit Egypt
If that was me he be talking to himself till that camel pass out 😂😂😆😆😆😆😅
I talk to myself all day everyday keeps me in shape for Who Knows ❤
When you said “ never seen a camel pee before” 😂😂😂😂too funny
I don’t know why u waste u time talking to them . Just wear headphones and walk away
Look at it from another angle. He is wasting THEIR time so they don't scam another tourist.
another point is he is wasting his time, to show us what happens when you talk to the scammer, so that we as a tourist will have better idea how to deal with them scammers
There are more scammers than there are tourists
That camel had to really go😂
you reach a wonderful agreement between you and the owner of the camel that you missed a good opportunity
Don't speak ENGLISH to them! Just say "LA SHUKRAN" several times, It means NO THANK YOU! ♥
Lmfao dude Pokémon badge you funny and lagend
The Egyptian government has made this price for you 😂
Isnt their any security or police to stop these scammers?
Generally u gave to avoid all the people in the pyramids.
Thank you for not supporting these guys punishing the animals!
Hello
I'm korean
I'm impressived you said to him
"I have two legs gave mother😆"
"You listen to me🙃"
You make me to challenge to do something positive stuff come out of my sleeping mind :)
Be bold!😂
Atrium ? oh yes ATM loooooooooool🤣
Nederland? Netjes. Haha. Vervelende Amir
What a nightmare all those scammers.
Just say no don't make eye contact and keep walking. They get the message if you do this!
Egypt should be declared a dangerous country
I don’t need Egypt… not one cent… until I hear things improve…
they do not take NO for answer ! really sorry My friend for what happened with you .... and I hope things will change for better soon and next time you will have more fun
Ha ha I was going to try and speak Czech to them and see if they puts them off, as not exactly a common language.
You have a lot of patience … I just got mad when I was there and told him to fuck off
The translate for the first words at the beginning is the guy saying he wants to scam u first he said to to the other guy get lost his my meal 😂
dude you got great tolerance i've had enough after 5min if he wouldnt stop i'd stole his camel
Great advice taken from the movie THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY " if you want to shoot shoot ,but don't talk" in other word, just keep walking and do not stop to talk to scammers
I'd just be Annoyed that someone else acts like they know what is best for me and keep pressuring me... lol like I don't care what you offering me😂
Those harassing scammers are the black pest of Egypt , litteraly completely absolutely,
Not only ...
